Transportation

School Bus
Transportation by school bus is provided free to students who live more than 1 1/2 miles from school. Students who live less than 1 1/2 miles from school may also take the bus at a fee of $125 per student for the entire year. Partial or periodic riding of the bus warrants full payment of bus fees at the beginning of the school year. The bus schedule is published in the August and September issues of the parent newsletter. Individual rides cannot be purchased. Children are not allowed to ride any bus other than their own.

Bus service is provided by VANCOM/ LAIDLAW Motor Coach. For complaints or irregularities regarding a bus driver, please contact the bus company at 708-345-5502.

Students are expected to maintain good behavior on the bus. For safety reasons, buses are equipped with video cameras. Any problems among students should be reported to the bus driver, and the school office at 449-6491.

Bicycles
Students in grades three and up may ride bicycles to school provided they know and follow bicycle safety rules. Bicycles may not be ridden in the parking lot or in the driveway in front of the building. Bicycles must be parked in the bicycle rack immediately upon arrival, and students must leave the school property on their bicycles immediately at dismissal. Skateboards, scooters and roller blades may not be brought to school.
